Artifact Overview

People found different ways to relax when in the great outdoors. Some hiked, some rested at the camp, and others picked up a rod and reel and headed to the lake, river, or stream. Fishing gear similar to what is shown here was available to the typical fisherman during the mid to late 20th century.
